Summercrafter

As Summer comes to a close, for those of us that are school minded that is, I wanted to give it a proper farewell. Unfortunately, it seems as if Summer and I have hardly had a chance to sit and relax, this year. It's been so hectic with sports schedules, caring for the sick and keeping a house when people are here most of the time.  There is just much more to do and the pool suffering from a bad case of algae, we haven't stepped foot in it either.  Nevertheless, I thought I should make something to remind me of Summer when Winter Recess comes around.  So, I made these Beach themed Christmas ornaments for the Christmas Once a Month  hosted by Julie . (I'm posting a few days early, shhhhh) I am just going to showcase them in pictures. Pictures updated on September 6, 2013 with bling!!  I really love the bling!! They are about 4 - 6 inches in ...

Back by popular demand! I wanted to play a little more with these little ornaments using different designs, in addition to the teeny, tiny glass beads, I also added some tiny pearls and bugle beads. The apple and the Scotty are new and the flip flops I had done before. I wanted to give some as gifts and, a friend asked me to make some for her to give as gifts too.   They look real pretty when they are all in a box, like a gift set. I have some smaller balls I want to do too and another technique I want to try, painting the inside. I saw that idea in a craft magazine and on a blog several months ago. Let's see how those turn out! Summercrafter Designs I wonder how they'll look on the tree?
